Painful Good Byes~ Miss you Cyndi!  Love you so very much.

Whether we were going out with friends or hanging with family we still had a pretty good year in 2010.  Why take an actual vacation when you can be with those you love and have fun spending time together?  I think not taking an actual vacation was worth it this year. 

We have been to the zoo, gone boating, first dates, Homecoming, Eagle Projects, concerts and even weekend doing things for others who are less fortunate.  What year!

There have been so many great ups this year that it wont matter we didn't spend a fortune going anywhere.  I remember my kids saying they had fun doing one thing or another.  One even said this is great we should do it more often.

When you have the love of a family and great kids life is so worth living.  At least we think so.

The only sad thing that we will remember this year is the passing of our Sister, Friend and the kids Aunt, Cynthia Lynn Kilpatrick Davies.  She led a very difficult life, although she was blessed with amazing nephews and nieces, cousins, siblings and other amazing family and friends she suffered from Spina Bifida and other physical ailments her entire life.  We will bury her in a couple days, but her love, smile and beautiful sparkling eyes will always be with us in our hearts and pictures of our lives with her.  We love and miss you greatly Cyndi.  Run girl, run!  No more braces or crutches or wheelchairs!  You are whole again, do the things you were unable to do on earth and kiss my dad for me!
